With breakfast finished and a new acquaintance made, the Scarecrow's mind turned to his other friends. The disappearance of Depth Charge's friend had brought back memories of how he'd felt when Kaiji went missing: helpless, useless, as though he should have and could have done something more to find him. If only he had his brain, then maybe he

His lack of response was unexpected, but then, she didn't know what kind of response she should have been expecting in the first place; an explanation, maybe, but on second thought was it too much to think one of those would have been given at all? Yukari surmised he'd say something-- anything-- after putting it bluntly (and not so tactfully), but when only silence followed, a heavy wave of dread washed over her as somewhere in her mind, she realized perhaps that was not the best way to go about this at all.
Minato had always been a calm and collected sort of guy, even in the worst of situations; if there was one person she knew who was always the voice of reason, it was him. So to see him not say anything at all and look at her like he did, barren of any distinguishable expression at all... Above everything else, it worried her. What was going through his head? She couldn't read him at all.
"Minato?" Yukari ventured cautiously into the heavy silence that suddenly fell between them, although she almost felt like she shouldn't have said anything more at all. Nonetheless, she still sounded desperate enough to make heads or tails of whatever was happening to pursue. "C, come on, you can tell me. Right?"

But to her, his familiar face was also a dead one.
What could he say to that? Should he say something to that?
Yukari wasn't the type to talk so flippantly about death, so it wasn't a matter of believing her. It wasn't a matter of accepting his own mortality, either; that was something he had been faced with years ago.
So Minato looked upward, towards the glass ceiling, for just a few seconds. When he returned his attention to Yukari, his expression was tiredly resolved.
"There's something about this place." What a vague answer. He had to search for a way to clarify what he had just said. "Chidori-san was here before, too. It doesn't make sense."
To say the least.
